RE: New Problem with DLL/MinGW

You could try using 

--out-implib=libmysqlpp.a instead of 
--out-implib=mysqlpp.a

(I never know in a *nix type system whether or not to include the "lib" in
front or not)

Could you verify that a (any) "*.a" file is being generated?

I did as you told me and I seem to get the mysqlpp.dll to compile but I 
can't seem to get mysqlpp.a to compile at all. I get the following error 
after adding the linker you recommend

g++ -shared -o mysqlpp.dll --out-implib=mysqlpp.a  debug/coldata.o 
debug/connect
ion.o debug/datetime.o debug/field_names.o debug/field_types.o 
debug/fields.o de
bug/manip.o debug/myset.o debug/qparms.o debug/query.o debug/result.o 
debug/row.
o debug/sql_string.o debug/string_util.o debug/type_info.o debug/vallist.o  
-Lc:
\mysql\lib\gcc -lmysqlclient
del /q "..\examples\debug\"*.exe

Death,
        This error means it's not generating the import library for the
mysqlpp library (which is used in programs that use the DLL to let them know
what's in the DLL, I think).  You should be able to add the following flag
to your linker flags and it will build the import library for you as it
builds the dll.

--out-implib=mysqlpp.a

Please let us know if you get it working in MinGW with a DLL, we've all
tried and given up.

Well I seem to have compiled the DLL fine but then this pops up at the end
of the compilation.

del /q "..\examples\debug\"*.exe
Could Not Find C:\mysql++\examples\debug\*.exe
make[1]: *** No rule to make target `mysqlpp.a', needed by `all'.  Stop.
make[1]: Leaving directory `C:/mysql++/lib'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Any ideas of what this means or how to fix it?
